OmniTRAX and BRG Railway Contribute $77,500 to Brownsville Community
Donations to Eleven Brownsville Non-profits Aid Essential Community Services and Programs

Brownsville, TX – December 18, 2024 – OmniTRAX, the transportation affiliate of The Broe Group, and its affiliate railroad, Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railway, LLC (BRG), announced an aggregate contribution of $77,500 to eleven Brownsville non-profit organizations. As part of OmniTRAX’s network-wide Good Neighbor Program, OmniTRAX and BRG collaborated with the Port of Brownsville to identify a broad collection of local nonprofit recipients that provide critical resources for the people of Brownsville.  

“Part of being a good neighbor is joining our local partners to serve our community. These eleven organizations lift up our neighbors and provide important community services. We are proud to help expand their reach throughout Brownsville,” said BRG President Shariff Gonnella.  

BRG operates 45 miles of rail at the Port of Brownsville, keeping the supply lines moving for steel, agricultural products, fuel products, and other commodities. The BRG commenced operations in 1984 when the Brownsville Navigation District (BND) reclaimed Port railroad operations from the Missouri Pacific Railroad.  

The BRG donations are part of OmniTRAX’s network-wide community outreach that annually provides funding for meals and essential services that reach more than one million of our neighbors in need.
